We dominate the world of boxing already. That is why when you go into a martial arts studio, or dojo as it is properly called, you see the flag of Puerto Rico hanging with the flags from Greece;South Korea; Phillipines; Japan; Brazil;and United States. Every country represents some form of art. You have escrima stick fighthing from the Phillipines, Jiu Jit Su from Brazil, American Karate from the United States, and the true Olympic style of martial arts from Greece which pre-dates farther back than Asian Martial Arts, and then there is Puerto Rico for boxing. So, since we dominate the world of boxing, why not move into Martial Arts. I love the sport and would love to see more of our own in the sport. There are very few of us latinos in the sport. So next time you pass by a martial arts studio of any style, stop and take a look, and even give it a try. I guarantee you will like it.
